3-[2-(9-Ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-6-methyl-3-quinol-yl]propan-1-ol
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(27)H(26)N(2)O, the mean planes through the carbazole and quinoline ring systems form a dihedral angle of 67.23 (5)°. Mol-ecules are linked into cyclic centrosymmetric dimers by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, and C-H⋯π inter-actions with the pyridine ring of the quinoline ring system as an acceptor. The dimers are linked through C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

02:23Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Overview
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.

02:36Acidity and Basicity of Alcohols and Phenols
Like water, alcohols are weak acids and bases. This is attributed to the polarization of the O–H bond making the hydrogen partially positive. Moreover, the electron pairs on the oxygen atom of alcohol make it both basic and nucleophilic. Protonation of an alcohol converts hydroxide, a poor leaving group, into water—a good one. The two acid–base equilibria corresponding to ethanol are depicted below.
